What a beautiful piece of sacred land! Forrest was very responsive and kind. The camping spot is across the way from the main house in a shady tree grove with a couple tables, chairs and well maintained Porto-potty. Sits right next to a spacious horse ranch with very gentle, loving and playful horses. I love horses and Forrest allowed me to go in their grazing area to meet them. It was magical. Spent a lot of time with them and I loved it. There were 6 horses when I went and I was able to pet them and love them all up quite a bit. The land itself felt very peaceful and I felt very nourished but our overnight stay on this land. Highly recommend coming here to camp. I definitely want to come back when I’m back in the area. Thank you Forrest!

The location was picturesque! Our family loved seeing the horses and petting them and only wish we’d had more time to spend with them in the field. The sunsets were gorgeous too. And while we were pretty close to the owners property we still felt like we had enough privacy.

Uinta Springs Ranch
Beautiful site, with an amazing view. Plenty of shade and clean toilet, an amazing spot for stargazing by the campfire.

It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy the shade and views! Rustic, but our needs were met and it was clean and quiet! Our host met us and answered questions, then went about his chores and left us to chill! We were there for a granddaughter softball tournament in Roosevelt, and like the nearby, yet relaxing location. Thanks, Forrest!

First the good things: there was water available via a spigot and garden hose, also the tent site was level, no rocks, and had about 80% grass coverage. The tent site had some shade from short , brush like trees. .
Now the negatives:
-this is NOT a campground contrary to the name of the place “Uinta Springs Campground’, I saw neither springs nor a campground,, what it is , is a private residence with a big yard, and the ‘camp’ area is at the edge of the yard next to a horse pasture fence. Also I had trouble using the directions to find the place,, I thought it was unusual that the next door neighbor, 100 yards away, had no idea where ‘Uinta Springs campground’ was and never heard of it.
- a ‘ports-potty’ was available. I used it once and was stung by one of the wasps inside. The wasp nest is inside the porta-potty , a small blue box at waist level just inside the door has the wasp nest with what looked like 20 wasps
- the ‘host’ (possibly owner of the residence) said upon my arrival ’Oh your early’,, it was about 4:30pm, and then ‘I am getting ready to start a ceremony’. So immediately I felt like I was intruding. The ceremony appeared to me to be a Native American sweat lodge ceremony. A fire for heating rocks and sweat-lodge were next to the area of my camp,,,, I felt like an intruder and very uncomfortable for the two or three hours the ceremony was held. I tried hard to not disturb the ceremony.
I was thankful for a place to put my tent ,,, but it was an uncomfortable situation due to being so near the ‘ceremony’. The physical condition of the camp warrants a rating of 2 stars out of 5. I won’t be going back. I will not recommend this ‘Campround’ to anyone.

Very nice spot in the grove. As some other reviewers have noted, it is not back country isolation but it was certainly off the main roads enough to be quiet and comfortable. Couple of large cast tables and set of swivel chairs were great for having dinner and keeping your tent set up and breakdown organized. Forrest was very nice and helpful. Definitely follow his written directions to camp. The hipcamp site has a dropped pin that definitely is not correct.

Forrest's campsite is gorgeous. It was magical seeing the horses running free, watching a storm roll in, seeing the sunset on the hills in the distance, and watching stars that night. The location is both easy to find and fairly secluded, although we could hear cars on the road through the night. Forrest wasn't there, but he stayed in touch via text, and the campsite was right at the end of the driveway so it was easy to get ourselves set up.

Great spot for tent camping or if you have a camper van. Forrest’s horses will come to greet you when you arrive and the tree grove provides ample shade. We were there when the trees were blossoming and the smell was unbelievable! Such a nice place to rest your head after a long day of hiking. Really enjoyed the wildlife and waking up to the sounds of birds, all while being close to civilization. If your looking for a traditional campsite in the middle of the woods, this isn’t it. But I recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway

Beautiful site and property! Forrest was there to greet us and we had such a wonderful evening listening to the outdoors and the sweet horses in the pasture. Would absolutely stay again, it was perfect for us blowing through town on a long haul.

Forrest is such a nice host with an amazing piece of land. He graciously allowed us to walk around his ranch and meet his horses. The firepit was great, portapotty clean. It was quite windy/rainy during the night but the view in the morning of the mountains was spectacular. I would definitely come back

Host was very welcoming, showed us were we could set up, pointed out were everything was (portable outhouse, water access, etc.), but otherwise left us alone to enjoy our night of camping. Horses were amazing, friendly, and beautiful. There was quite a bit of noise from surrounding neighborhoods and cars from the road, but that died off around 1am and didn't bother me much, but it bothered my teenage son. Overall, geat place to camp for the night...I would stay there again.

It was a little hard to find but Forrest was super helpful with directions! The site was peaceful and wonderful, not quite as private as I had thought but I still felt very safe and at home. The host also welcomed me and told me about the property and the background of it. Overall it was a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend it! (Also the sunset was incredible!)

We booked this site based on the reviews and the photos, and expected a quiet, secluded site in the trees. However, we didn't end up staying here once we saw the site because our expectations did not align. This site may be great for some people as noted by the other reviews - but it wasn't for us. The "site" is in the host's backyard, right off of his driveway and very close to his house. So for us, it did not feel private or secluded or like camping at all. Yes - there is a small tree grove to nestle into, but it still felt exposed. It is also right off a main road, which was very noisy when we arrived so that also turned us off. If you don't mind being close to the host and the house and don't have a backyard of your own, then this may work for you. For example, this may be a good site if you are a family or have kids and want to feel safer than you would camping in the woods.

It was an absolute honer to stay at Uinta Springs Ranch and to be hosted by Forest. The property was incredibly diverse and so well taken care of on top of being beautiful. Forest was the best host I could ever imagine having and his horses were truly magical!

Beautiful and shady spot - it was a very hot day so the shade and slight breeze was pleasant. We love wildlife- saw deer and a variety of birds. Forrest was very hospitable and his property well kept.

Forrest’s property is absolutely beautiful.
We arrived in the evening and with his perfect directions we were able to drive right to it. We knew as soon as we saw the view that we made the right choice. There was so much land for my sister’s puppy to explore and never get bored. Forrest has quite a lot of space and he maintains it very well.
The site is nestled between Forrest’s lovely home and his horse pasture and pen. His horses were quite curious and very charming. The grove of trees that serve as the campsite provide lots of shade during the day. There were multiple places to set up tents that would be shaded at different points during the day.
Forrest provides a table big enough to prepare meals and some picnic style chairs that can be used for meal times.
There is a large fire pit that would allow for a large group to sit around. There was even a spot where we could light charcoals to cook in a Dutch oven. The firewood is complimentary, but we brought some bundles to supplement to prevent using more than our share.
The host provided a port-a-potty that was very clean and well maintained.
Overall, this camp was a treasure to experience and I am SO looking forward to the opportunity to return in the future.

Forest's land is a pretty fantastic little spot - though, I shouldn't say little. He's on quite a bit of land, and you're basically devoid of neighbors besides the horses and 2 friendly little dogs.
I'm mostly unfamiliar with Utah, but the drive up there was spectacular. The landscape changes drastically ever hour, and his land specifically was probably the most green area I've seen in the state.
In terms of camping, everything was easy. Just follow his written directions, then when you get there look forward to the soft flat ground, trees for shade, chairs to sit at. The land feels alive, and while sitting and listening, you can hear many many different kinds of birds/frogs. Really quite relaxing.
Overall, he was a great host, and I would definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area.
